Abstract
CONTEXT The vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) properties of acetic acid systems generally behave strong non-ideality due to the associating interaction among acetic acid molecules. Theoretical study of the associating mechanism will provide guidance for the VLE property prediction, which is crucial for the designing on the separation process of the acetic acid systems. In this work, the association conformers and their distribution on acetic acid molecules in saturated gas and liquid phase were firstly studied. The proportions of the acetic acid monomer and multimers were obtained, which will contribute to the foundation for the vapor-liquid equilibrium simulations. The association mechanism on acetic acid molecules was then investigated by comparing among the structures and non-bonded interaction energies of different dimers. The structure of the cyclic dimer containing two OC-HO hydrogen bonds, may be found probably when acetic acid molecules approached. Electronic properties of different acetic acid dimers showed that the electrons around carbonyl oxygen atoms were deflected by the attraction of hydrogen atoms in the other molecule, which polarized the acetic acid molecules when the hydrogen bonds between acetic acid molecules were formed, providing theoretical basis for the polarized acetic acid molecular model. METHODS In this work, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and DFT calculations were conducted through the software GROMACS and Gaussian 09, respectively. For the MD simulations, the OPLS-AA force field was used as the atomic force field, with the cubic simulation cells constructed by Packmol program. For the DFT calculations, the M06-2X functional was employed for the optimization of the associating structures with the 6-311G** basis sets. Hydrogen bonding energies of dimers were corrected for the basis set superposition error (BSSE) and the deformation energies of monomers. Furthermore, the energy decomposition analysis was conducted at DFT/M06-2X/def-tzp level by the ADF software, and the wave function analysis was conducted by the Multiwfn software including the atom in molecule (AIM) topology analysis, the electronic potential analysis, and the electron density difference analysis.

Abstract
The formation, chemical, and thermal processing of complex organic molecules (COMs) is currently a topic of much interest in interstellar chemistry. The isomers glycolaldehyde, methyl formate, and acetic acid are particularly important because of their role as pre-biotic species. It is becoming increasingly clear that many COMs are formed within interstellar ices which are dominated by water. Hence, the interaction of these species with water ice is crucially important in dictating their behaviour. Here, we present the first detailed comparative study of the adsorption and thermal processing of glycolaldehyde, methyl formate, and acetic acid adsorbed on and in water ices at astrophysically relevant temperatures (20 K). We show that the functional group of the isomer dictates the strength of interaction with water ice, and hence the resulting desorption and trapping behaviour. Furthermore, the strength of this interaction directly affects the crystallization of water, which in turn affects the desorption behaviour. Our detailed coverage and composition dependent data allow us to categorize the desorption behaviour of the three isomers on the basis of the strength of intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, as well as the natural sublimation temperature of the molecule. This categorization is extended to other C, H, and O containing molecules in order to predict and describe the desorption behaviour of COMs from interstellar ices.

Abstract
The interaction of propionic and butyric acids on ice and HNO3-doped ice were studied between 195 and 212 K and low concentrations, using a Knudsen flow reactor coupled with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The initial uptake coefficients (γ0) of propionic and butyric acids on ice as a function of temperature are given by the expressions: γ0(T) = (7.30 ± 1.0) × 10(-10) exp[(3216 ± 478)/T] and γ0(T) = (6.36 ± 0.76) × 10(-11) exp[(3810 ± 434)/T], respectively; the quoted error limits are at 95% level of confidence. Similarly, γ0 of propionic acid on 1.96 wt % (A) and 7.69 wt % (B) HNO3-doped ice with temperature are given as γ(0,A)(T) = (2.89 ± 0.26) × 10(-8) exp[(2517 ± 266)/T] and γ(0,B)(T) = (2.77 ± 0.29) × 10(-7) exp[(2126 ± 206)/T], respectively. The results show that γ0 of C1 to C4 n-carboxylic acids on ice increase with the alkyl-group length, due to lateral interactions between alkyl-groups that favor a more perpendicular orientation and well packing of H-bonded monomers on ice. The high uptakes (>10(15) molecules cm(-2)) and long recovery signals indicate efficient growth of random multilayers above the first monolayer driven by significant van der Waals interactions. The heterogeneous loss of both acids on ice and HNO3-doped ice particles in dense cirrus clouds is estimated to take a few minutes, signifying rapid local heterogeneous removal by dense cirrus clouds.

Abstract
Thin films of water were prepared on Ag at 124 K. Their properties were studied with metastable impact electron spectroscopy, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption. The interaction of acetonitrile (ACN) with these films was studied with the abovementioned techniques. From the absence of any infrared activity in the initial adsorption stage, it is concluded that ACN adsorbs linearly and that the C identical withN axis is aligned parallel to the water surface (as also found on neat Ag). Initially, the interaction with water surface species involves their dangling OD groups. During the completion of the first adlayer the ACN-ACN lateral interaction becomes of importance as well, and the ACN molecules become tilted with respect to the water surface. ACN shows propensity to stay at the surface after surface adsorption even during annealing up to the onset of desorption. The present results for the ACN-water interaction are compared with available classical molecular dynamics calculations providing the orientation profile for ACN on water as well as the ACN bonding properties.

Abstract
HC 5N adsorbed on amorphous water ice at 10 K presents an interaction with the ice surface and induces the restructuring of the ice amorphous bulk. Warming up the sample induces the HC 5N desorption from the H 2O ice film, between 120 and 160 K, and the associated desorption energy is 90 kJ/mol. This value is in good agreement with that calculated E d (80 kJ/mol) and gives evidence that the amorphous ice surface is essentially dynamic. From theoretical calculations, it is shown that the HC 5N moiety presents a curvature and is no more linear and stabilized by two strong N...H bonds (2.09 and 2.29 A) and one H...O bond (1.84 A).

Abstract
The interactions between oxalic acid (C 2H 2O 4) and H 2O on a polycrystalline Cu surface have been investigated by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) methods. The desorption of H 2O and C 2H 2O 4 was studied; we found that the ice desorption temperature increases with the ice-film thickness. Desorption of the C 2H 2O 4 layer involves a structural modification and sublimation. The H 2O/C 2H 2O 4 and C 2H 2O 4/H 2O interfaces and the codeposited C 2H 2O 4+H 2O were prepared on the Cu surface by varying deposition sequences of gaseous C 2H 2O 4 and H 2O at 155 K. We found that the interaction between ice and C 2H 2O 4 does not lead to the H 2O-induced deprotonation of C 2H 2O 4 in a temperature range 155-283 K. However, H-bonding interactions between H 2O and C 2H 2O 4 can lead to the formation of a metastable oxalic acid-ice complex in the C 2H 2O 4/H 2O and C 2H 2O 4+H 2O systems during the TPD process. Desorption of H 2O from the C 2H 2O 4/H 2O/Cu system is suggested to involve the diffusion of H 2O through the top C 2H 2O 4 layer. H 2O desorption is followed by a rearrangement of C 2H 2O 4 to form a C 2H 2O 4 adlayer on Cu in the C 2H 2O 4+H 2O system. These experimental findings suggest that C 2H 2O 4 is not ionized on snow and ice in the polar boundary layer and at upper tropospheric temperatures ( approximately 240 K).

Abstract
The structures of formic and acetic acids deposited on a thin gold substrate held in vacuum at low temperatures and their related water-ice promoted chemistry have been investigated. The condensed water/guest films were taken to act as cirrus cloud "mimics." Such laboratory representations provide a necessary prelude to understanding how low temperature surfaces can affect chemical composition changes in the upper atmosphere. The systems were characterized by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption spectrometry. The interaction behavior of the binary acid ices was compared to that observed when ternary mixtures of water, formic acid, and ammonia were deposited. Differences in the chemistry were observed depending on deposition method: layering or mixing. The more atmospherically relevant codeposition approach showed that at low temperatures, amorphous formic acid can be ionized to its monodentate form by water ice within the bulk rather than on the surface. In contrast, the introduction of ammonia leads to full bidentate ionization on the ice surface. The thermal desorption profiles of codeposited films of water, ammonia, and formic acid indicate that desorption occurs in three stages. The first is a slow release of ammonia between 120 and 160 K, then the main water desorption event occurs with a maximum rate close to 180 K, followed by a final release of ammonia and formic acid at about 230 K originating from nonhydrous ammonium formate on the surface. The behavior of acetic acid is similar to formic acid but shows lesser propensity to ionize in bulk water ice.

Abstract
The interaction of acetic acid (AA, CH(3)COOH), with solid water, deposited on metals, tungsten and gold, at 80 K, was investigated. We have prepared acid/water interfaces at 80 K, namely, acid layers on thin films of solid water and H(2)O adlayers on thin acid films; they were annealed between 80 and 200 K. Metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy UPS(HeII) were utilized to obtain information on the electronic structure of the outermost surface from the study of the electron emission from the weakest bound MOs of the acids, and of the molecular water. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) provided information on the desorption kinetics, and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) provided information on the identification of the adsorbed species as well as on the water and acid crystallization. The results are compatible with the finding of ref 1 (preceding paper), made on the basis of DFT calculations, that AA adsorbs on ice as cyclic dimers. Above 120 K, a rearrangement of the AA dimers is suggested by a sharpening of the spectral features in the IR spectra and by spectral changes in MIES and UPS; this is attributed to the glass transition in AA around 130 K. Above 150 K the spectra transform into those characteristic for polycrystalline polymer chains. This structure is stable up to about 180 K; desorption of water takes place from underneath the AA film, and practically all water has desorbed through the AA film before AA desorption starts. There is no indication of water-induced deprotonation of the acid molecules. For the interaction of H(2)O molecules adsorbed on amorphous AA films, the comparison of MIES with the DFT results of ref 1 shows that the initial phase of exposure does not lead to the formation of a top-adsorbed closed water film at 80 K. Rather, the H(2)O molecules become attached to or incorporated into the preexisting AA network by H bonding; no water network is formed in the initial stage of the water adsorption. Also under these conditions no deprotonation of the acid can be detected.
